always question how a business is monetizing itself

If it’s not obvious.. yikes

Look at what happened with robinhood

Yep. There are a lot of things out there that fit into that.

Have to have something people want. That is the first step. Too many go for monetization without having a product or service that is desired.

After that need a decent path to profits. This was the problem with all those tech/web2 companies. AirBNB and Uber didnt have a path.
